Before our lines a very large number of Prussian dead were lying.

There were burying parties out on both sides, but they were getting on very slowly with their work, and were perpetually fired on.

At 4 A.M.this morning the Prussians made a rush at our lines from Champigny to Brie, and the Mobiles and line, taken by surprise, hastily fell back.

One or two regiments of Mobiles were literally charged by squadrons of gendarmerie, to force them back.
Reinforcements came up, and by nine o'clock the positions had been regained--the Prussians being unable to withstand the fire of our forts, redoubts, and siege-guns.

The battle then went on till about three o'clock, when it died out.
